Matthew Hilton

Matthew Hilton furniture is built in the belief of creating furniture that people live with. His inspiration often comes from long-established furniture forms. He doesn’t believe in design movements, and he really doesn’t like the concept of design as a fashion.

Product details

The award-winning Cross Extending Table is a prime example of Matthew Hilton's innovative approach to wood furniture design and signature minimal aesthetic.

Both practical and versatile, clean lines come together to create a distinctly contemporary base that allows for ample leg room. 

The table top expands with a smooth and simple pull to allow for the addition of two extra leaves — with a mechanical ball-bearing system ensuring a smooth transition. The extension leaves can be stored in a concealed, felt-lined compartment under the table top when not in use.

Constructed from a solid wood base and a solid edge veneered top, the Cross Extending Table can be used to seat between 6 and 14 people. 


Winner of the ELLE Decoration Award for Best in Furniture 2006, the Homes & Gardens Classic Design Award in 2007 and the Design Guild Mark in 2008.

Two-person assembly required.

The Cross Extending Table was awarded the prestigious Design Guild Mark in 2008. The Design Guild Mark is awarded by The Furniture Makers Company in order to drive excellence and raise the profile of British design and innovation. It recognises the highest standards in the design of furnishings and lighting for volume production, by the finest designers working in Britain, or British designers working abroad.

Care Instructions

To prolong the life of the product and retain its appearance and functionality, we would like to give you some relevant information and care advice:

This unit is manufactured oak or walnut depending on the finish. The legs and underframe are solid - the top and extension leaves are veneered for greater stability.

Skilled craftsmen manufacture this product and there is variety between each unit. This is because wood is a natural product, with natural colour and grain variations.

Natural timber is affected by sunlight; this can cause the wood colour to darken (if oak) and lighten (if walnut). For this reason (especially if placed in direct sunlight) it is recommended that placing objects in the same position for long periods of time is avoided. This potential colour adjustment becomes less relevant as the product ages.

It is recommended that no abrasive cleaners or solvents are used to clean the unit. Please only use proprietary furniture polishes or alternatively, warm water with a diluted mild detergent.
